S8.C.3.1 Describe the effect of multiple forces on the movement, speed, or direction of an object.
S8.C.3.1.1 Describe forces acting on objects (e.g., friction, gravity, balanced versus unbalanced).
S8.C.3.1.2 Distinguish between kinetic and potential energy.
S8.C.3.1.3 Explain that mechanical advantage helps to do work (physics) by either changing a force or changing the direction of the applied force (e.g., simple machines, hydraulic systems).
Use graphical and algebraic tools to quantitatively describe the motion of an object.
Explain common phenomena (e.g., a rock in a landslide, an astronaut during a space walk, a car hitting a patch of ice on the road) using an understanding of Newton's Laws of Motion.
Explain common phenomena (e.g., a rock in a landslide, an astronaut during a space walk, a car hitting a patch of ice on the road) using an understanding of conservation of momentum.
Explain the role of forces in circular motion, and apply this concept to orbital motion.
Describe the chemical reactions involved in rocket propulsion.
